pxe: implement fdtdir extlinux.conf tag
People who write (or scripts that auto-generate) extlinux.conf don't want to know about HW-specific information such as FDT filenames. Create a new extlinux.conf tag "fdtdir" that specifies only the directory where FDT files are located, and defer all knowledge of the filename to U-Boot. The algorithm implemented is: ========== if $fdt_addr_r is set: if "fdt" tag was specified in extlinux.conf: load the FDT from the filename in the tag else if "fdtdir" tag was specified in extlinux.conf: if "fdtfile" is set in the environment: load the FDT from filename in "$fdtfile" else: load the FDT from some automatically generated filename if no FDT file was loaded, and $fdtaddr is set: # This indicates an FDT packaged with firmware use the FDT at $fdtaddr ========== A small part of an example /boot/extlinux.conf might be: ========== LABEL primary LINUX zImage FDTDIR ./ LABEL failsafe LINUX bkp/zImage FDTDIR bkp/ ========== ... with /boot/tegra20-seaboard.dtb or /boot/bkp/tegra20-seaboard.dtb being loaded by the sysboot/pxe code.
